CFTRI’s formulation, in its initial years, of a baby food from buffalo’s milk, launched India into the galaxy of advanced countries producing baby food from their own technologies. It proved that buffalo’s milk, till then considered unsuitable for easy digestion, could become an eminently nourishing food for babies. The achievement carried the Indian dairy industry to remarkable heights, and it is largely due to CFTRI that India today is able to break the monopoly of multinationals and meet all her requirements of baby food locally with indigenous know-how. (Amul, a baby food based on the institute’s technology, is a household word in India for over 4 decades now.) This achievement alone has saved foreign exchange worth crores of rupees for our country, in terms of import avoidance. The "Amul Process" which went into production in 1961, later led to the development of several weaning foods that created a far-reaching impact.
